I am going GREEN :)
Green is the color of Calm. Green color soothes the eyes and agitated mind. That is why Nature is filled with green plants and vegetation. Take a walk in a green park, you can see the difference. Green is friendly too.
Today this color is evaporating from us. Smoke and dust pollution, scarcity of water preventing the new sprouts. Phenomenal Global warming closely associated with the deforestation. More green plantations reduce the global warming to some extent, the researchers say.
I am going for Green. Yes, in fact this is one of my new year’s resolutions. But, this effort of mine seems costly. Almost, all the goods and gadgets associated with green revolution are a bit highly priced, and middle income group persons like me, can not afford to buy them. However, I am determined to go green. Instead of taking cab to work, I would like to use my bicycle. This way I can get some exercise for my body, and reduce some carbon dioxide emissions. I am switching off the TV or Desktop PC when they are idle, to save power. Similarly, we have installed a solar powered water heater in place of electric heater. When I go shopping, instead of plastic carry bags, I am insisting on paper bags. I will, let all of you know, whether I have achieved my going green target, with these petty actions.
Small efforts like these, by all of us may contribute to Mother Nature.
I have fixed my green target, what about you ? …
